[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course not going to college is worse than a degree from Radford. Radford has wonderful teaching and nursing programs.[/quote]

Op here- that's nice, but DS isn't going to be nurse or teacher. We don't want to at for what we are concerned is in fact a scarlet letter, a badge of underachievement. [/quote]

Your child has a whole string of rejections.  I think you need to be less choosy about what she is or is not going to be!  I think she's already earned a "badge of underachievement" and should reevaluate her qualifications.  Take the offer she has and make something of it rather than wait for something that doesn't appear to be coming her way. [/quote]

If your son, doesn't got to college, what do you expect them to do?

I truly believe that any kid can become successful despite not going to name brand colleges as long as they work hard, apply themselves and take advantage of the opportunities that come their way.  Your son already has their "badge of underachievement". Radford won't be giving it to them. Tell your son that if his GPA falls below a certain point, you won't pay for college. He needs to start working hard. This is all on him. [b]What college he attends doesn't matter[/b].[/quote]

Way overbroad statement that statement. :roll:   
But if Radford is the best he can do, then go ahead and go there. Many doors are closed at this point so why agonize over it now? The time to have been concerned about this was 8th, 9th, 10th grade. [/quote]
